Thanks
1 physical machine
192.168.0.2
2 Virtual machines
192.168.0.3 domain1.local
192.168.0.7 domain2.local

DNS server order
192.168.0.3 not a root server
192.168.0.7 not a root server
62.139.105.166 ISP Server
that's the main setup
I develop an app that runs on the physical machine that needs to connect to
Active directory on both machines in the same time.
Regards
Sameh
